ILLEGALS, DREAMERS AND DEAD AMERICANS

I've posted here about American citizens like Mary Nagle, Adrienne Shelly and others who were killed by illegal immigrants. You don't often hear about their murders in the mainstream media. It does not fit the meme that Obama, the Democrats, La Raza and the other pro illegal immigrant groups want you to hear about illegal immigrants.  But, people do remember and every once in awhile the dark side of illegal immigrantion is heard like the testimony of Jamiel Shaw as he testifies before Congress  on the death of his son at the hands of an illegal immigrant "dreamer"  -MORE HERE Tweet

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #9: No Government Benefits for Illegal Immigrants

Marco Rubio is out there saying that illegal immigration who get the pathway to citizenship won't be able to get on any welfare programs. The joke is they already are! He and the other Gang of Eight Senators say they illegals will have to pay a $2000 fine.  Watch the story of this woman an  illegal immigrant in the U.S. over twenty years. She already gets $240 per month in food stamps alone. Her $2000 fine under Comprehensive Immigration reform proposed by democratic Senator Chuck Schumer  and others of the Gang of Eight will make up for only eight months of food stamps this woman has received. Sweet little deal Schumer and the Democrats along with Republicans like McCain and Rubio are proposing. Sweet deal if you are an illegal immigrant that is:

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #8: Would legalize 45 percent of ICE criminal caseload!

"One of the most alarming effects of the Schumer-Rubio amnesty, if enacted in anything close to its current form, would be the legalization of tens of thousands of illegal aliens who have already been a public safety threat in their community. The eligibility criteria established for the amnesty and most of the new guest worker provisions excuse a wide variety of criminal behavior, including gang membership, drunk driving, vehicular manslaughter, identity theft, and immigration fraud (see this analysis). In addition, the bill offers amnesty to those who have repeatedly and flagrantly violated immigration laws." - MORE HERE

How does releasing criminal illegal aliens into U.S. communities make any sense? It doesn't! That is Comprehensive Immigration Reform!

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #7: Slush Fund for Pro Illegal Immigration Groups

"The pro-amnesty lobbyists who helped craft the Schumer-Rubio immigration bill included within the bill two "slush funds" amounting to $150 million that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come. Slush fund grantees are "public or private, non-profit organizations" described in the bill as including "a community, faith-based, or other immigrant-serving organization whose staff has demonstrated qualifications, experience, and expertise in providing quality services to immigrants, refugees, persons granted asylum, or persons applying for such statuses." In other words, the grantees would include many of the groups involved in writing and promoting the amnesty." -MORE HERE   

So let me get this straight those groups who helped, enabled and allowed illegal immigrants to evade the laws of the United States in the past will be getting millions of taxpayer dollars as a reward with Comprehensive Immigration Reform?

COMPREHENSIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM JOKE #6: Delaying of E-VERIFY

"The Senate’s complex immigration bill would instantly gut the popular E-Verify system that is widely used to exclude illegal immigrants from jobs, and then create an enforcement gap for several years before the arrival of a replacement system.“There’s no doubt that the bill eliminates E-Verify immediately upon signing,” said Kris Kobach, secretary of state of Kansas"  -MORE HERE

If anything the E-Verify program should be one of the FIRST things that is up and running before anything else. But, that is what happens when a bill called Comprehensive Immigration Reform is written in a back room by immigration lawyers, unions and big business lobbyists and not the American people.

SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM HELPING ILLEGALS WHILE HURTING AMERICANS

The liberal mainstream media love Republican's like John McCain and Lindsey Graham because they back up Obama and the Democrats plan on "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" which includes a path to amnesty for illegal immigrants. But, the real truth is these RHINOs are actually selling out the American workers and they just don't care. Here is exhibit A:

JOHN McCAIN AND THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

As they say in journalism whenever you wonder why things happen it is always useful to ask: who benefits? The liberal mainstream media loves to trot out Senator John McCain as the Republican voice when it comes to illegal immigration. But, why does Juan McCain want to push comprehensive illegal immigration reform that provides an amnesty er.. "pathway to citizenship" for millions of illegals in the United States? As usual follow the money! The former CEO of the Spanish language television network Univision played a big part in his 20008 campaign. It is also in the best interest of Spanish language networks like Univision to make sure as many of the illegal immigrants get to stay here as possible. Senator John McCain is trying to make sure that happens! Hola suckers!

Obama and McCain

I was feeling rather good after Obama's 60 minutes interview Sunday night. I went to sleep thinking that Obama would "do the right thing" for the country after the Steve Kroft softball interview. But, my concern was raised on Monday as Obama met with the defeated Juan McCain in Chicago. Even though it was hardly mentioned during the campaign illegal immigration was mentioned in news reports following the Obama/McCain meeting. This is not a good thing. Especially considering that McCain led the charge on amnesty for illegal immigration. As we we found out through the faulty reporting of the New York Times McCain had a financial reason for backing illegal immigration amnesty. Because it involved money for his friends and backers like the Spanish language Univision TV network. Let's hope Obama understands this special interest connection of McCain's.

Meanwhile the Washington Post reports on a new poll regarding illegal immigration. Here are some of the money quotes:
"Americans and Europeans share deep concerns about immigration, with a large percentage worrying that it can bring crime and displace workers "

People on both sides of the Atlantic express sharply negative views of illegal immigration, and roughly half of respondents said they think immigration in general is "more of a problem" than an opportunity for their societies.

"Real anxiety about legal immigration exists, but it is dwarfed by concerns about illegal immigration," the fund said in a statement yesterday. At least 80 percent of respondents in all surveyed countries called for stronger border controls, and more than 73 percent in all the countries called for tougher sanctions on those who hire illegal immigrants.

I hope Obama listens to the numbers in this poll and less to John McCain.

Media bias exhibit A: Jill Greenberg

When the Republicans want to provide evidence of bias in the mainstream media. They need look no further than photographer Jill Greenberg who was hired to do a photo shoot of McCain for an Atlantic Monthly article. Instead of doing the job she was assigned Greenberg went out of her way to make McCain look bad in the photos using various lighting techniques and then bragged about what she had done in her blog. There are many stupid people on the left you can now add Jill Greenberg's photo to that gallery. Here is the money quote:

“I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad…He had no idea he was being lit from below."

An Atlantic staff writer Jeff Goldberg had it right when he wrote that Greenberg had:
“disgraced her profession.”

Meanwhile Atlantic Editor James Bennet said Greenberg behaved improperly and will not be paid for the session. He said the magazine is also considering a lawsuit. As for Greenberg she last night published some of the worst photos of McCain on her website which is appropriately known as manipulator.com. However this idiot has now taken down the photo from her site. So much for the courage of her convictions.

Guess where I am going?

A company I work for is sending me to help set up a communication system at the Republican National Convention site in St. Paul. I hope to be able to blog from time to time during the next two weeks from the location. Maybe even meet Juan McCain and tell him what I thought of the Kennedy/McCain Illegal immigrant amnesty bill. Well, it's time to pack and head off to the airport.

McCain's VP choice: Bloomberg

Not that I want to help the McCain campaign. But, after watching the cable news idiot pundits discuss all the choices for Vice President for both candidates as if they actually knew something. I thought why not play a hunch myself. If McCain were smart (and I do not think he is) he would pick New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Yeah, I know Bllomberg registered as an independent, But look at Joe Lieberman going on Meet the Press to be spokesman for McCain. This notion popped into my head yesterday when I read that Bloomberg was taking Spanish lessons which is just perfect for an ambitious politican who plans on Hispandaring for higher office in the future. The VP spot would be perfect for Bloomberg and the McCain campaign. It would give McCain a solid lock on the Jewish vote. Not to mention that both MCain and Bloomberg have no problem with illegal immigrants breaking our laws. Best of all for Bloomberg McCain will probably only last one term making Bloomberg a shoe in for a run for President in four years. Stay tuned!

And the Democrats are dumber.

You do not have to look to far to see that there is really no difference between the insane position of the Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to offshore oil drilling. It seems when the oil industry speaks about drilling for oil off our coasts even people like Barrack "change" Obama listen. Here is exhibit A:

"Obama said Friday that he would be willing to compromise on his position against offshore oil drilling if it were part of a more overarching strategy to lower energy costs.-CNN

But, back in June Obama was speaking a different tune:

"When I'm president, I intend to keep in place the moratorium here in Florida and around the country that prevents oil companies from drilling off Florida's coasts," Obama told reporters in Jacksonville in late June. "That's how we can protect our coastline and still make the investments that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and bring down gas prices for good."

The fact is if you listen real close neither Juan McCain, the Dumbocrats like Obama or the oil companies are promising that if the oil companies get the moratorium lifted to drill off the U.S. coasts that the oil found will be used to provide energy to U.S. consumers. I will put this little tidbit of information in the "I told you so file" for later use.
Meanwhile back in the oil company board rooms:

"HOUSTON -Oil giants Chevron Corp. and Total SA wrapped up a string of gargantuan, record-breaking earnings reports Friday, a stretch in which six of the major international oil companies topped $50 billion in combined profit for the first time."

Hello suckers! Especially those who think voting for Obama means that there will be a real "change" in Washington.

Back on land

I have spent the past three weeks on a sailboat away from computers, and mainstream corporate media TV, newspapers and radio. I did not miss them at all. My only communication was with fellow human beings I came in contact with and the marine VHF radio to listen to weather broadcasts. I am slowly working my way back trying to the land of nonsense and the political campaigns of Barack (change messiah) Obama, Juan McCain and the stupidity of those in Washington. It has been a couple of very calm and peaceful weeks. Though I suspect it will not take long more than a few days before I become outraged by the shenanigans of either the Democrats or Republicans.

The Hispandering of Obama and McCain

"In back-to-back speeches to Latino public officials, John McCain and Barack Obama position themselves as devoted champions for Hispanics in hopes of luring support from the fast-growing and critical voting bloc."-Reuters

That includes amnesty and a path to citizenship for the illegals who have broken our laws. Hey stupidos! Why would you grant citizenship to people whose first act in our country is to break our laws. A recent poll had the question which candidate do you favor for immigration reform. Obama or McCain. I did not answer because there was no choice for "none of the above". Which is how I plan to vote in November too!

Obama pulling numbers out of his butt?

The mainstream political media is all over Scott McClellan's book on how the Bush administration lied to us about the Iraq war. Meanwhile, the corporate mainstream media seems to be ignoring Barrack Obama pulling stats out of his butt regarding hate crimes against Hispanics in his recent speeches. Mickey Kaus at Slate does a smackdown of Obama recent speeches and a look at the actual numbers. Here are some of the money quotes:
Where does Obama get that "hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year"--an alleged increase he blamed on "people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up"?

A 35% increase over four years is not "doubled last year." (Never mind why the SPLC may have picked 2003 as their base of comparison ).

Am I missing some Obama data source? Or is this an overly overlooked incident of Obama pulling convenient facts out of the air? ...

Suppose John McCain had said the same thing! ... Er, actually, McCain probably will say the same thing. And he'll probably get a pass too. Who'd attack him for it? Obama? The Dobbs-deriding MSM? This is not an area where you can rely on the normal adversarial political process to yield the truth, because Obama, McCain and the MSM essentially agree on immigration. ...

Wups there it is! The truth on why the mainstream media is not looking to closely at what Obama is saying. Luckily, while Obama, McCain and La Raza try to kill the messengers the folks at the Lou Dobbs have a little something to share with Obama. and that is the facts:

McCain: Please allow me to introduce myself...

"As his Democratic presidential rivals squabble, Sen. John McCain has moved to transform his ragtag primary campaign into a general-election operation by boosting fundraising, establishing control over the Republican National Committee, and beginning a conversation with voters who live in states where he has not campaigned. "- Washington Post

Maybe McCain can explain why he has a Mexican national in charge of his Hispanic outreach committee. Why he supports amnesty for illegal immigrants who have broken U.S. laws by crossing our borders. When it comes to U.S. security McCain may actually be the worst candidate in the race. The trouble is most people don't know how bad he is on issues like illegal immigration. Watch this space!

McCain's Univision connection

Mickey Kaus and others have dug a little deeper into Ms. Iseman Juan McCain's "friend"/lobbyist and it turns out she was also working for the Spanish language network Univision too! Gee, I wonder why McCain worked so hard on the illegal immigration amnesty bill last year. Could it be Univision wanted to make sure it did not lose it's audience here in the U.S.? Oh yeah and here is another interesting the money quote:
"Former Univision CEO, controlling shareholder and Iseman client Jerrold Perenchio is a National FInance Co-Chair of McCain's campaign.

File this under Hola Suckers.

Another wheel falls off McCain's straight talk express.

"Broadcaster Lowell "Bud" Paxson yesterday contradicted statements from Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign that the senator did not meet with Paxson or his lobbyist before sending two controversial letters to the Federal Communications Commission on Paxson's behalf". -Washington Post

Well now we know why Juan McCain hired D.C. power lawyer Bob Bennett. Let's see how this expensive legal counsel responds to this unfortunate piece of bad news for McCain.

"We understood that he [McCain] did not speak directly with him [Paxson]. Now it appears he did speak to him. What is the difference?"

Ah, maybe the difference Mr. Bennett is that someone is lying? Please Republicans someone slide the gun across the table to McCain. This is going to be too painful to watch. It's not too late to get another Republican candidate for us voters so we have a choice this election. One that was not picked by pundits, the media and party elites.

Sex, lies, lobbyists and John McCain's B. S. express

I was enjoying a nice piece of Talaipa with my homemade mussel sauce while watching Hardball on MSNBC last night. When Keith (BIGHEAD) Olbermann came on with the "breaking news" of Juan McCain's involvement with a forty year old lobbyist for the telcom industry. While MSNBC played up the sex scandal angle the Washington Post this morning has the more important details. Here are the money quotes:

"In the years that McCain chaired the commerce committee, Iseman lobbied for Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson, the head of what used to be Paxson Communications, now Ion Media Networks, and was involved in a successful lobbying campaign to persuade McCain and other members of Congress to send letters to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Paxson. "

In late 1999, McCain wrote two letters to the FCC urging a vote on the sale to Paxson of a Pittsburgh television station.

"At the time he sent the first letter, McCain had flown on Paxson's corporate jet four times to appear at campaign events and had received $20,000 in campaign donations from Paxson and its law firm. The second letter came on Dec. 10, a day after the company's jet ferried him to a Florida fundraiser that was held aboard a yacht in West Palm Beach."

As much as it would delight me to see Juan McCain do a Bill Clinton "I did not have sex with... " moment. The big story is how easily the wheels will come off of McCain's "straight talk express" . And how politicians like McCain think the American people are dumb enough to believe that his getting free rides on the Paxson Corporate jet had nothing to do with his writing letters to the FCC urging votes on an issue involving financial gain to a Paxson. It's clear that despite all the polished image of John McCain as a crusader he is still a creature of Washington and instead of sending him to the Whitehouse he should be sent back to Arizonia ASAP. It remains tho be seen if those Republicans who jumped aboard the McCain bandwagon will continue to ride his B.S. express all the way to defeat.
